“Aquí vive gente” (“People still live here”) is a powerful phrase and movement in Puerto Rico symbolizing resistance against the displacement of native and working-class communities due to gentrification, tourism-driven development, and colonial neglect. It asserts the presence, dignity, and rights of those who have lived in these neighborhoods for generations, often pushed out by rising rents, privatization, and Airbnb. The phrase is both a protest and a reminder: these are not merely spaces for profit, but vibrant homes and communities. It reflects a broader struggle for land, identity, and self-determination in the face of ongoing exploitation.
